I never know what to post in these threads, but I wanted to say that the rules *do* in some sense protect all of us. Sometimes, an uncivil post really hurts people, too. Sometimes I think about how it would feel if someone posted something similar to me, and I really wouldn't like it.
I know Dr. Bob has been somewhat less than supportive and open in these conflicts. But I don't want to throw the baby (a civil, safe place for us to bring all of our most vulnerable stuff to) out with the bathwater (his behavior).
Maybe some posters shouldn't have been blocked based on the rules. I don't know enough about that to comment. If that's true, then they definitely should be unblocked.
This is aside from my feelings about non-deputy posters "policing" others, which I don't think is a reasonable or healthy suggestion. Deputies are different, of course, because they have agreed to take on the challenge.
